Octarine is a lightweight, local-first note app that balances freedom with structure — focusing on features that make note-taking fast, flexible, and personal.
✦ A clean, distraction-free editor with Markdown support (notes are stored on device, with complete control of data and ownership)
✦ Graph view to visualize connections between notes
✦ Built-in Git sync for seamless backups
✦ Properties, tags, and templates for better organization
✦ Focus Mode, multiple workspaces, and custom themes
✦ “Ask Octarine” to chat with your entire workspace or get help drafting emails, new notes or even templates.
✦ A powerful writing assistant with context switching to help you rewrite, improve, and even mold your thoughts more effectively.
All of this in a small package less than 30MB, taking less memory than 90% of the competition, and being faster and secure!
With over 100 releases and constant iteration based on community feedback, Octarine continues to grow around one idea — that good tools should stay out of the way and let thoughts flow.
